Cody Freeman has started the last 2 days at SS for Round Rock. That is very interesting. He can hit.

Cole Winn has still not given up a run.

It would have been nice to have traded Taveras in the offseason before we used him and caused his trade value to go down. Another 5 weeks of him disappointing hurt his value.
heard there was little or no interest during the off-season and that they were hoping that he might improve his image. he has basically until Thursday to hope some other team will pick up his contract or he has to accept demotion to the minors or declare free agency and lose around $3.5M

From this article: The Rangers had attempted to trade him last week, but found no teams willing to make a straight trade that would involve exchanging players and taking on the remainder of the contract.


So what teams did they have discussions with??? :scratch:

Or, they asked for too much in the ofdseason.

With Carter back it will be interesting to see how many starts Pederson and Crim get

According to espn Bret Boone replaces Donnie Ecker. Anyone know if he’s been a hitting coach before.

This is his first MLB coaching job.

We shall see how it turns out, but I would have preferred they go get someone with some experience as a hitting coach and a track record

I was surprised to hear about Boone but he was a pretty decent hitter in his playing days so I guess we'll see how it goes... :noidea:

I guess when Bochy calls and offers you a job you really can't say no...

Boone said he was just at USC to throw out a first pitch and ran into Michael Young. He told Young to say hello to CY and Bochy and then when he gets home, the next thing he knows is his phone is ringing and it is Bochy asking him to consider the job.
